the only thing i wouldn't want in the new MK is Khrome the disabled ninja, he shoots car paint from his ass.. nah thanks gg though.
Anyway I bet its going to be amazing UnrealEngine 4 + MKX its like the 2nd coming of jesus christ

If they add Krome might as well add Lady In Purple ????

*Looking at you unseenwombat* ????

And when I say I would like at least two or three playable Edenians, I'm only counting full blooded Edenians, not Mileena. She's kind of a crap character now anyway after NRS decided to delete her history (and intelligence) from
MK.

I'm just hoping they somehow redeem all the stories they ruined in 2011.

I think that while a part of me wants to have a good amount of characters selectable at E3, I'd like to see a number closer to 6 or 8. In the long run, they could space out character reveals better with more to reveal after E3.

You're right. It's best they only show a few now instead of showcasing 90% of the roster right away, then we'll be left with a year of very little news to look forward too LOL. So yeah, they should take it slow. Show maybe 6 or so characters at E3 and then we can all have fun guessing and speculating about the others. That's what makes the hype fun!

Excellent point.
How many characters did they skip in terms of reveal trailers for MK9? Didn't they also skip a ton of MKasts, too?

Based on their saturation with Injustice, they learned their lesson and they'll pace themselves better and boost the hype.
...
Upon re-reading that press release, I sincerely do not want the game to require online access 100% of the time; that crap drives me insane with Tekken Revolution.

Agreed. If they show alot of characters at E3 we'll be dry regarding reveals and whatnot

hell yea lmao

I really hope that they only debut a max of four new characters in MKX. Quality over quantity. They've had a habit of introducing too many new characters for the sake of introducing new characters in the past and it's really hurt the series.

We have a lot of characters that are not fully fleshed out and are just kind of there. A lot of these characters are just strong premises and that is all they are.

I also would like a new sub boss. I kind of miss the days of a new exciting "beast" sub-boss from MK1-3. They tried with Moloch and MK:DA, and he was decent, but I think it's time we got another interesting original creature sub-boss that the series is so well known for.

Finally the cat is out of the bag!!! Really looking forward to the E3 reveal.
BTW look all the MK fans that have crawled out from under the rocks!
Where have you guys been all this time?

Also, it should be obvious that this Winter Forest WILL be a stage in MKX. I'm pretty happy about that.

Hopefully Sonya's face looks great, i don't want them to completely redo it, just update/edit her MKDC/9 face... They need to reduce the chin. Or i wouldn't mind them redoing it completely, as long as it looks similar as MKDC/9 one... kinda like what they did to Li Mei in MKDA/D, i swear most of the characters keep getting new faces every game and they look like completely different people, which annoys me inmensely

I loved Li Mei's redo in Deception. She finally looked and dressed like she belonged in Mortal Kombat. I wasn't a fan of her costume in MKDA...or her face lol

I agree, her face looked better in Deception, although i like her DoA inspired alt in DA better tan both Deception looks...

That said, what i loved the most, is the fact that even after the facelift, she still looked like Li Mei, which can't be said about 90% of the cast

The music really needs to fuckin' go.

Aside from that the trailer was a nice surprise. I have to admit, though, it wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be. That's not to say it wasn't an enjoyable treat.

I guess HD MKs are being tossed in the trash, or at very least, put on the back burner.

Big fucking surprise, the trailer had S/SZ. Turned it off after five seconds.

Cage & Kai better be in or I'm rioting!

New characters can simply mean those that did not appear in MK2011, not necessarily characters new to the series.

Did you expect Stryker?

I think Cage will return. He definitely have a high chance at least. Though every now and then he does sit out a game (MK3, Deception, MKVSDCU). Hopefully he's in again.

Kai however can go either way. We have to wait and see exactly where things are going.

Complete agreement. Boon's engine a.d.d. is really insane to me at this point. Especially since most agree that mk9 was damn close to the sweet spot.

Online has always been a sore spot for me, and numbers whores are a big reason why.

That stuff aside. Absolutely amazing launch trailer, CGI or not. I'm wondering about the wording of this press release though. They're really hyping the "next gen" side of this game, but announce it for all platforms. I'm thinking(as someone alluded to earlier) they could have another team porting the game to ps3/360. Hopefully that frees the main team to make the most of the game and make sacrifices for the other consoles later.

I know this trailer is definitely not indicative of story direction, but I really hope they're not just going to hit the reboot button all over again. Story has always been a huge thing for me(and many others), so despite its shortcomings, the one thing you can say about mk9 is that it left a lot of doors open for the future. I hope they take advantage of this and take the steps necessary to make it strong again.

Wahhhhhh!

They're the series' best known characters. Deal with it...

...also, it was just a 2 minute teaser. There will be more info coming next week with E3

@SwingBatta

No you didn't dude....No you didn't.

I think 4 playable characters at E3 is pretty much a guarantee. Anything more is gravy. I'm hoping for 6-8. But those hopes aren't high because watch, they'll turn around and make only Scorps and Subz playable. I haven't been too good with my guesses lately.

What I'd really like is for one of the playable E3 characters to be brand new, and never-before-seen. I think that would be hype.

I have a feeling that one character at E3 will be completely new. Maybe two.
